“The law of the Lord is perfect, reviving the soul; the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple; the precepts of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart; the commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes; the fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever; the rules of the Lord are true, and righteous altogether. More to be desired are they than gold, even much fine gold; sweeter also than honey and drippings of the honeycomb. Moreover, by them is your servant warned; in keeping them there is great reward.”
The God Who Sees
No one’s gaze compares to His. No recognition you receive from others is greater than His attention. And no reward compares to the one He gives.
So, in the wilderness, in the affliction—friend—cling to these truths about who God is: He pursues us, He listens to us, and He sees us.
The Weary in Heart
So, let your weary heart find comfort in Jesus. The One who is the founder and perfecter of your faith. The One who for the joy set before Him endured the cross. The One who endured hostility from sinners so that you would not grow weary. Friend, consider Him and never stop looking to Him! Only in doing so can you lay aside every weight and sin. Only in doing so can you run the race set before you. And only in doing so can you find the joy you need to endure all things.
Return, Oh Wanderer, Return
If you’re carrying the weight of a wandering loved one, I hope these words offer some encouragement to you. Whether you’re the wanderer or the one who loves them, remember that ultimately, salvation belongs to the Lord. He is faithful to pursue, to call, and to bring those who are His back to Himself.
